The Redeemer of Israel

1But now thus says the Lord that created you, O Jacob, and He that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.

3For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.

4Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life.

5Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;   ACTS 18:10 | offspring, descendants

6I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth;

7Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10You^p are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you^p may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.

11I, even I, am the Lord; and beside Me there is no savior.

12I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you^p: therefore you^p are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.

13Yea, before the day was I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who shall let it?   reverse

14Thus says the Lord, your^p Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your^p sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

15I am the Lord, your^p Holy One, the creator of Israel, your^p King.

16Thus says the Lord, which makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17Which brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.   a strand of flax, a wick

18Remember you^p not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you^p not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.   REV 21:5

20The beast of the field shall honor Me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.   huge, fierce creatures

21This people have I formed for Myself; they shall show forth My praise.
